Re: Blame the system... Indeed. I know several teachers, and if anyone thinks they have it easy, then they must not know anyone in that profession. There are some school districts where money is so tight, teachers have to pay out of their own pockets for classroom materials. My sister-in-law is a teacher, and it isn't uncommon for her to work 12-hour days. A good friend of mine also teaches, and she told me about one of her first jobs, where she taught elementary school to a class made up primarily of children born to drug addicts. It was bad enough that these kids had almost every kind of learning disability under the sun, but she got zero support from the parents, who were often more messed up than the kids.
So I'd love to see one of these cushy teaching jobs. I bet I could find a few folks who'd love to apply for such a position. |
